Please Click :-https://economictimes.indiatimes.com/mf/analysis/how-to-pass-on-your-mf-holdings/articleshow/62644900.cms----------------------BLOG COMMENTSIt is very important to remember that , in case of Mutual Funds / Fixed Deposits , nominee is only a representative / Trustee on behalf of the heirs . A Will or Natural succession in the absence of a Will would determine who would inherit the Mutual Funds. Best is make a Will and write in it " THAT WHERE EVER I HAVE MADE NOMINATIONS OR THERE ARE JOINT HOLDERS THEN THOSE NOMINEE / S OR THE SURVIVING JOINT HOLDERS WOULD BE EXCLUSIVE BENEFICIARIES "IN CASE THE NOMINEE PREDECEASES THE HOLDER THEN THE NOMINATION STANDS CANCELLED . IT DOES NOT PASS ON TO THE HEIRS OF THE NOMINEE.--------------------------------------------------To the best of our knowledge ( please please Recheck ) Nominee or the surviving Joint Holders in case of Shares is absolute owner( without reference to any Will / Natural Heirs. )
